Lin Qingwan and Wu Shilang were already prepared, so they brought the people who served them and daily necessities, and the two of them sent someone back to tell Xu Lian that they stayed in Liaoying.

Wu Shilang was still a little apprehensive in his heart, "The county lord is not afraid that they will take us hostage again?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "We can afford it, do you think the Liao Kingdom can afford it?" ”

She motioned for Xiao Shi to pour them tea, pushed a cup to Wu Shilang and said, "Recently, we have taken care of the affairs of Youyun and Youyun, can Wu Shilang calculate the relief food we sent when we opened the warehouse?" ”

Wu Shilang was taken aback, and said after a pause: "It is impossible for Youzhou and Yunzhou to come up with enough grain for them to eat until June. ”

Therefore, he has written to the imperial court to ask for some food to be allocated for emergency relief, and now the food in the treasury of the two states can only ensure that most people do not starve to death.

If the imperial court does not allocate food, when there is no harvest in March and April, and everything that can be eaten is eaten, even if the Liao army does not move, the people of Youzhou and Yunzhou will rebel.

Lin Qingwan took a sip of tea and said: "The situation in Youzhou and Yunzhou is good, I think the situation in other parts of Liao is worse than these two states, and now Liao is in trouble, and Wen Dihan wants to solve this point more." ”

Wu Shilang lamented: "If it weren't for the use of troops against Chu, it would be most appropriate to send troops to Liao at this time." ”

"There must always be a priority, and when the Central Plains is pacified, it is not too late to resist the Liao State."

Wu Shilang nodded, "China is safe, and the group is self-serving." If the deceased husband wants to go outside, he must first settle inside. Before his death, Lin Gong told His Majesty not to use troops with Liao first, to protect the national strength to settle the country, and to wait for the stability of the country before going abroad. The county lord did the same thing as Princess Lin Zhang today. ”

Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "It also depends on the actual situation, if the Liao State comes to attack, it is impossible for us to still think about the importance of pacification, naturally we must first fight the outside world, and only then can we think about the internal peace by keeping the country." ”

Whether it is outside or inside, it is their ultimate goal, not to accomplish another means, so it depends on the specific situation.

Wen Dihan and the right minister discussed the content of the peace agreement one by one, and finally added a few points, and after revising a few points, they called Lin Qingwan and Wu Shilang to discuss.

Lin Qingwan expected it well, the situation in Liao was tense at this time, and there was not much time for Wen Dihan.

So even at the banquet in the evening, he was talking to Lin Qingwan about the peace agreement, brainstorming for an afternoon, Wu Shilang was already a little tired, and his reaction was a little slow.

Lin Qingwan was in good spirits, and she bargained with Wen Dihan back and forth.

During her nearly a month in Liaoying, she tensed her nerves every day and became accustomed to this kind of high-intensity brain activity.

And it is common for Wendihan to not sleep for three days and three nights when he fights, so he is now very clear-headed.

On the contrary, the older right minister couldn't support it, but although he was drinking and enjoying the song and dance, he kept listening to the two of them with his ears pricked up.

At this time, he couldn't help but agree from the bottom of his heart that Wendy Han was indeed more suitable to sit in this position than Ganle and Ganzhuan.

If it were the two of them, they would definitely not be able to deal with Lin Qingwan.

And Liang Guo is indeed full of talents, a woman is still like this, I don't know how many capable people there are in the court of Liang State.

Thinking in his heart, the right side of Liang Guo's vigilance was another layer heavier.

Lin Qingwan didn't know about this, she and Wen Dihan went back and forth, pleading one by one, it can almost be said that she did not give an inch, and she completely lost the humility and friendliness she had when she came.

After the dinner, Lin Qingwan asked people to send the two boxes she brought to Wen Dihan and Youxiang.

A large box is for Wen Dihan, all of which are jewelry, and for the right phase is a box, and there is only one jade carving inside.

When the right minister received the jade carving, he thought that Lin Qingwan wanted to bribe him, but when he heard that the khan also had it, and it was more valuable than his, and the number was even more, he couldn't help but be silent.

So Lin Qingwan is even their khan to bribe?

The henchman who went out to inquire about the news said: "I heard that this Lin County Lord has always been very generous, and he also gave a lot of valuable things when he met the Khan for the first time. ”

The right minister thought of the way she refused to give up an inch of the land in the mutual market circle just now, and sighed: "She is making small profits and making big gains." ”

When they met again the next day, Wen Dihan's attitude softened a lot, and Lin Qingwan also softened her posture at the right time, and finally both sides gave in one step.

The right prime minister has a short hand, and he doesn't suffer a loss when he sees Da Liao, but the advantage is not so big, and the khan agreed, so he also let it go with one eye closed.

The most controversial points are set, and the rest is much easier.

The four of them played from morning to noon, and after a little rest, they continued to fight, and until the evening, they basically decided to play each other.

Wendihan asked, "Now that the mutual market has been decided, when will we trade grain?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "I will send someone back overnight to prepare, and tomorrow we will sign a peace treaty, and we will be able to trade after the announcement." ”

Wendy Han asked, "Publicity?" ”

"Yes, the peace negotiation is a major event, so naturally we must inform the people of the two countries that tomorrow we will sign a contract in public at the gate, and then the peace treaty will be made public, and if we have time, we can also circle the land we have drawn for the mutual market." Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "And our transaction is the first transaction after the establishment of the mutual market. ”

Wendihan thought about it, didn't find anything wrong, and nodded in agreement.

Lin Qingwan handed over the peace agreement re-established by the two to Wu Shilang, clasped her hands in front of her abdomen, looked at Wen Dihan with a smile and said: "So Wen Dihan Khan, now let's talk about the first business, when I went out of the city, the price of grain in Youzhou was 48 wen per bucket of rice, and it seems to have risen a little more in the past two days, to 50 wen?" ”

"The price of grain is generally 60% of the price of rice, so the current price of grain is about 300 yuan a stone, do you want to buy it with me, or barter?" Lin Qingwan looked at Wen Dihan seriously and said, "Actually, I want you to exchange things with me, things on the grassland are still very popular in Jiangnan." ”

Wendihan blinked, and then remembered that food had to be bought with money or exchanged for things.

Wendy Han looked to the right.

The right minister asked with a smile: "Lord Lin, this is our first transaction, if you come exactly according to the market price, then we might as well find someone else to trade." ”

Lin Qingwan nodded and smiled: "That's right, so how do you want to buy it?" ”

The right minister pondered for a while and asked, "Is this batch of grain from the Liang State, or is it the county lord's own?" ”

"It's my own," the smile on Lin Qingwan's face deepened slightly, and she bowed slightly: "I asked my family to transport it from Jiangnan, and I went through a lot of hardships along the way." ”

The right minister said with a smile: "It seems that the county lord is very confident in the peace talks between Liaoliang and Liang, and he is willing to take this risk before the peace talks are completed." ”

"That's because I know that the hearts of the people of our two countries are the same, and they don't want to fight."

The right minister twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "I think it is because the county lord trusts our khan, I heard that the county lord and the khan met for the first time, they talked very happily, if it were not for the identity, I am afraid that they will become good friends." ”

Lin Qingwan nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I want to be a friend of the Khan, but I'm afraid that the Khan will dislike me for not being enough." ”

Wen Dihan tugged at the corners of his mouth and said: "Lord Lin is too modest, you are the county lord of Daliang, and after you are a famous general, how can you not have enough identity?" ”

Wu Shilang looked left and right, and sat silently on the side without speaking.

Forget it, Lord Lin obviously intends to have a good relationship with them, so why should he be afraid of her suffering?

climbed friendships, but business still has to be discussed, Lin Qingwan is more inclined to barter, of course, things used to exchange food should also be important materials, so Lin Qingwan's first option is horses.

She can ask for a horse or a foal, and it is better if it is a horse.

Ma Zailiang is not worried about selling, in addition to selling to the army, she also sells to various big families, which is more profitable.

There are also cattle, which are now multiplied and sold in a fixed amount every year, which can make her a lot of money.

But a cow is equivalent to two strong laborers, and anyone who has some surplus money would rather buy a cow than build a house, so cattle are also in demand in Daliang.

Wen Dihan naturally didn't agree, no matter how good the cow was, it was impossible for him to give so many horses to Lin Qingwan, it was all war preparation, and he gave her the equipment to Liang Jun to fight them?

So he suppressed the number of horses and instead brought up mutton.

That's right, it's lamb!

Last winter, many sheep froze to death and frostbitten, and the grassland is indeed the most numerous, so Wendihan tends to exchange mutton for food.

If Lin Qingwan dislikes that the sheep is slaughtered, it can also be exchanged for a live sheep.

A herdsman kills a sheep, even if he only eats the amount of a day that will not starve to death, he can only eat it for a month at most, but the grain exchanged for a sheep can be eaten for at least three months with the mutton that will freeze to death in winter.

This is a prerequisite for not dying of starvation, and if you want to work hard, you need to consume at least twice as much food.

Wendihan has to give the herders at least four months of food to last until the summer harvest.

Lin Qingwan bargained with them, and finally set the price of a stone of grain, and Wen Dihan asked, "How much grain does the county lord have?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "It's not much, it's only 8,000 stone rice and 2,000 stone wheat." ”

Wendy Han: "......"

Right phase: "......"

Even Wu Shilang widened his eyes, when did she transport so much grain?

Wen Dihan sat up slightly straight, and was about to talk about the price again, when he heard Lin Qingwan say: "Actually, if it weren't for some misunderstanding between me and the Khan before, which caused the current situation, I wouldn't have promised you to exchange so many sheep." ”

Lin Qingwan sighed and said: "Winter has passed, and the season of eating mutton has passed, and I almost disposed of this batch of grain to you at a loss." ”

Lin Qingwan reminded sincerely: "So it is difficult for the khan to exchange sheep with other merchants for supplies, you might as well let the domestic merchants prepare more furs, medicinal herbs, live cattle, etc., oh, the gems of Da Liao are also very popular." Of course, it would be better if you were willing to open up some permissions for people to trade horses. ”
